It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year It's the hap -happiest season of allWith those holiday greetings and happy meetings When friends come to call It's the hap - happiest season of all!

Christmas in July has struck! I got home at 1615, checked the mail, and the letter for my pistol permit was in! The office closed at 1700. I finished the paperwork and got out of there by 1645. I then called my Favorite Dealer (who had all of my stuff) at 1650, and was able to stop by, do all of the paperwork, and bring my stuff home by 1845!

I still need to get mine The fish&game club had a pistol permit course (required to get a permit here) a couple months ago, but I didn't have the time to go to it Otherwise, I'd probably be where you are now, waving my permit around and eyeing the old .45 that's going to be transferred to me once I have the paper...

Does ANYONE know if there's a place in/near Orange County that has handgun trainig courses, that are approved by NY State? I'm horribly impatient, and if I can walk up and sign up for a day long or 2 day long/weekend course, hell, I'll do it tomorrow. Then it's just taking the day off to get printed, sending it all in, and waiting for someone to stamp "ok" on it, I guess..

The webmaster at www.ocshooters.com is who I used. Cost was $40.00. He teaches the course in his basement, and he lives between Washingtonville and Monroe. Email him to see when he can do another class. BTW, in last night's email exchange, he said he would be out of town until the 5th.

Look at Bob's bulletin board to the right of the EBRs. He usually has a few posted there. Master Class Shooters Supply in Monroe also gives classes I believe by appointment. My wife and I have our applications. Two more references to go. Therein lies our problem. Many of the people that we knew very well have moved out of the county and we are wary of bringing up the subject of firearms with our new neighbors.

Sounds like you need to have us over a few times so we can honestly vouch for you when the sheriff's deputy calls!...Or did you want reputable character references?
